Henri I de Bourbon, Prince de Conde

Henri I de Bourbon, Prince de Conde (29 December 1552-5 March 1588) was a Huguenot leader during the French Wars of Religion.

Biography
Henri de Bourbon was the son of Louis I of Bourbon, Prince de Conde and Eleanor de Roucy de Roye, the first cousin of Henry IV of France. He became a general of the Huguenot cause during the French Wars of Religion, having survived the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre of 1572. The deeply Calvinist Henri initially opposed Henry of Navarre during his campaign for the throne, but he supported him against the Catholic menace. He was appointed Governor of Picardy after Henry seized power, and he was poisoned by either his wife or Henry in 1588.
